Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement

Windshield wiper blades should be inspected at least
twice a year for wear or cracking. See “Wiper Blade
Check” in the Index for more information.

1. Turn on the wipers to LO.

2. Turn off the ignition while the wipers are at the 

outer positions of the wiper pattern. The blades are
more accessible for removal/replacement while in
this position.

3. Pull the windshield wiper arm 3 to 4 inches 

(7.5 to 10 cm) away from the windshield.

4. While holding the wiper arm away from the glass,

push the release clip from under the windshield
wiper arm connecting point and slide the blade
assembly down toward the glass to remove it from
the wiper arm.

5. Slide the new wiper blade securely on the wiper arm

until you hear the release clip “click” into place.

Replacement Parts” in the Index.
